It's probably coincidence, but last month someone I don't know emailed me out of the blue asking about furries. Said he saw some furries at SDCC (same place I found furry) and realized that "other people found these characters sexual".
I had a slight hunch he might be a reporter, but I replied as I would to anyone. I cautioned him that furry was not predominantly about fetish, and many furries are completely non-sexual. I told him to get in touch with local groups of furs and ask questions there. And since he lives in So. CA, who knows.
In all honesty, yes, the portrayal will likely be bad; but after contact with Real Furries it's likely to be slightly-less-bad, if that's any consolation.
